Writing the Image

Linux Users

You can write the image to an SD card of your choosing but it does have to meet the minimum size requirements of 2GB. You can optionally use a USB device for the root file system to improve performance.
For use with SD:

Windows Users

Once downloaded and installed right click on the disk image and select "7-Zip->Extract files here"

Launch Win 32 Disk Imager and select the extracted disk image and the SD card you would like to write the files to. Click "Write". Be very careful during this step - all data on the selected drive will be lost!

Using Fedora on the Pandaboard

Connect the newly created media to your Pandaboard and power on. No further steps are required. Your images will boot to graphical.target (runlevel 5) by default. To change this default behaviour and boot to multi-user.target (runlevel 3) run the following command as root:

The default root password is "fedora". This should be changed immediately.

Release Notes

This test image includes the updates-testing repository enabled by default.

Images were composed using tools in Fedora 17 due to continuing work on Fedora 18.

When using the images on the Pandaboard and Trimslice the system will automatically reboot twice by default for the following:

repartition the root filesystem on first boot. To prevent this delete the '.rootfs-repartition' flag in '/' or by passing a kernel command line argument of 'nofsresize'.

The image will automatically be relabeled for SE Linux, this may take some time and will reboot when finished.
